What are my options, besides switching to Windows?
Finally upgraded to my 6th Galaxy, the 256 GB S21 Ultra!
Upgraded Dex on my Mac, so I could finally take advantage of wireless Dex.... and saw a terrible notification that it's getting discontinued on Mac in a couple of months!!
Man. I really love Dex for so many reasons... It's the most convenient way to interface with the phone when I'm at my work station. So I figured out how to live without the SD-Card expansion slot... and now Dex is chopped... What's getting cut next?
Anyway. Are there work arounds to this, so I can continue to interface with my phone in this manner?
@Anonymous This is not the same at all. Drag'n Drop files between my Mac and the phone. Using my existing keyboard. There's no room for another monitor because I already have three monitors at my workstation! haha
@user365170tdJ15 I am hoping someone knows of a third party workaround. Yes, I know of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud...
@microwin13 Wineskin is an interesting option. Looks like it's compatible with 64bit MacOS Catalina and up! I used Wine on Ubuntu for some game emulation a while back. It's worth a try. I like the idea better than booting up Windows 10 in VirtualBox.
How do you guys transfer files directly? I used Snapdrop in the past. Is there something better that connects the Mac to the Galaxy? I don't want to use the adb shell, but I guess that's an option too.
As the app for Mac is already written and working, committing to continue supporting it isn't that difficult, time consuming or expensive. One wonders what motivated the decision. Tend to wonder if Microsoft asked them to discontinue it and make it another Windows 10/11 exclusive integration like some of their other partnerships.
